Charcoal Practice

I have to teach a charcoal workshop next month so I thought I'd get a start on my practice pieces.

Here is Kneeling Man: It takes many layers of hatching, then smudging, then more hatching to achieve the levels of dark I need. It only about 8 x 8" on 90 lb. watercolour paper.


Here is Phoebe and Pup: The next door neighbour breeds French Bulldogs and they have a litter just a couple of weeks old. This is from a picture when the pups were just hours old. Phoebe had 5 big pups. :)

Watch for more charcoal drawings!
